I would first like to thank you for doing your part to try to correct some of the ignorance of the general population. You pointed out some errors that people make with their reasoning. That was great.

This underplay has an impact on the reasoning ability of the general population. (This is like being against vaccines, there would be more sickness. With this “believe what we tell you about the supernatural” stuff, the kids skeptical immunity system is left confused and weak)
